“Pulseway gave me a lot of control remotely, and being able to act on servers directly from the app was extremely helpful.”

Pros

“It helps save time by making it easier to manage multiple devices from one place, especially for updates, scripts, and troubleshooting.”
BE

Basel E.

IT Manager

“This is great for small and medium-sized companies that need software to control hardware/software inventory, in addition to allowing you to connect to an Active Directory server to search for machine information and even perform deployment on machines.”
WH

Wanderlei H.

IT Analyst

“Products of their SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR certifications, Action1 offers multi‑factor authentication, AES‑256 encryption, and even HackerOne‑backed penetration testing.”

Shane G.

Director, Information and Marketing Technologies

Cons

“I’m not as intuitive with setting up custom automation scripts, I often have to dedicate several attempts to get it right.”
BL

Byron L.

Software Developer

“Another issue, we have a Bitdefender license for all our systems, currently have an issue where Pulseway does not correctly reflect that Bitdefender has been loaded on a system, but BitDefender does show that the system is running Bitdefender(Status:”

Senior IT Technician

“Some key touches can be added a bit quicker I think especially based on request for changes, some are flagged as urgent and confirmed by multiple users, however the change never seems to be implemented, either due to lack of functionality or the urgency is undervalued.”
JL

Jean-Louis W.

Senior Technician

Cons

“FTP-The only thing I missed from the transfer from Itarian was the ability to access folders from each machine to move user files to replacement PCs that I was working on.”
LP

Lonie P.

IT Manager

“The policy management for Windows, and the MacOS support are missing some features which I am used to with more expensive endpoint management suites.”
NH

Noel H.

IT Consultant

“For example one laptop has come out of a cupboard and tripped 500+ vulnerabilities which then hides the ones that work the other way and effect 500+ computers.”
